What kind of memory should i get for my PC?

Q. I have a Dell Dimension 3000 it uses IDE Hard Drives and a IDE CD drive.

Please do not say to get a SSD because the pc i have is 8 years old and is not compatible with SSD it can only use IDE not SSD or SATA.

The PC uses DDR memory and reigh now it has 512MB of memory i wish to upgrade it to 2GB is this possable and will it make it faster when starting up and writing word Documents and going on the internet? Now it takes way to long to even open a basic word document.

Thes OS is Linux Ubuntu version 12.04
Memory 512MB
HDD 40GB
DVD NO
CD YES
SATA NO
SSD NO
IDE YES

I just want to be able to get on my pc without any problems.
Wish i could afford the Alienware X51 $799.00 version but on 50.00 per month it wont happen. I am currently saving up for the X51 but i have calculated that it could take 15 months or more.

A. You should be able to stick a SATA controller in an empty PCI slot.

You'll also probably need a decent graphics card to get ubuntu to work well.

Anyways, by the time you do that you could replace the core components for $300 (six months), (can see results in three if you use a board with an ide connector and risk using the old power supply with it)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026

And then either a SSD or terrabyte drive. $100

That's not the only combo that will work, but it's worth looking into.

In the meantime install and use the lxde desktop enviroment, which should at leas be passingly usable on that system.

But if you got to have it right now

How do I install puppy linux as a dual boot?
Q. I have installed Ubuntu and Linux mint as dual boot many times on various computers but i have never experimented with puppy linux. Is it pretty much the same to install puppy linux as a dual boot as it is to install Ubuntu?

A. Normally Puppy is booted from a CD or USB stick

It doesn't need to be installed because it will save all your files in a small file that will live happily on any partion on your hard drive

I have (a while back) multi-booted an fully installed version of puppy, ubuntu and XP using grub and don't recall any problems - each had its own partition on a single drive

How do I run a web browser from linux command line?
Q. I an VERY new to linux. I have installed Fedora 5 in text mode. I have a Linux book and am trying to slowly learn linux. So from the console, or command line, how do I run a web browser. Also how do I run the X Windows System?

A. If you installed in text mode, maybe you didn't install X. You probably have a text mode browser. Try lynx or elinks. If the startx command doesn't work, try "yum install x-window-system". By the way, Fedora 5 is old. The current version of Fedora is 9.

Where am I able to play Same GNOME for free online?

Q. My father has linux on his computer and I ended up becoming fond of the game that came with it, titled 'Same Gnome' I found out later that it is specifically called 'Swell Foop' and it is another version of Same Game, but I really liked that version in particular.

Where can I play the linux version of SameGame, called Same GNOME? Thank you!

A. It's Linux software - you can only play it on Linux. GNOME is a desktop environment.

do anyone know where would i get a working driver for unichrome pro igp chipset driver for debian?
Q. i tried many drivers including those from the firms website but no luck...Has anyone successfully installed this driver in any of linux versions???The display is always flickering and hangs often.

A. Maybe this will help.

A. Google Talk works very well under Linux.

Looking For a Good Free Linux version for kids, that can run without a hard drive?

Q. My niece other uncle(on her father side) gave her old computer, it doesn't run. But thats not the reason I ask, I have a smaller old internet computer, that I feel will be better for her(as I am her mother's bother, and it has a less energy drain then the old Dell has). My niece is only five years old, and all she needs it for is playing games, and doing pre-school work or something.

The linux version should run from a CD, so it must be a small installation, it also should be kid friendly.
ubuntu I would like, as it is nice, and it has the look and feel of windows, but its to large for a cd, maybe several cds, or a Live DVD, but not a cd. The computer had a linux based cd, but it got loss down the line, and it was old, so anything that will run on a CD, that easy to install first off, because i tried to use Damn Small, but I didn't understand the installation process
Thank you basilb101, for clearifing, I thought Mr. Micro was misspelling ubuntu

A. I like the suggestion of Edubuntu but it is a big download/install and liveCD will slow the computer down, i would suggest an install of edubuntu or puppy linux (under 150MB), maybe you could splash out on a IDE compact flash card?
Puppy linux is never truly installed it just moves files from the disk/flash drive to the ram it needs 128MB (i think!) or else a hdd for virtual memory
EDIT; ubuntu/kubuntu/edubuntu/xubuntu are all availabl on a single dvd which would be alot faster than a 700MB download but i don't think edubuntu is available on CD

How can I install and replace the new Ubuntu Linux?
Q. Hello everyone !
I have Ubuntu Linux version 9.04 installed in one partition of my laptop. There's a newer better version that has just been released (10.04) And I want to install it, but at the same time replace the old one completely with the new installation.
What is the best way to do this ? The way that it's less error-prone, or the easiest way.

Note. I have Windows installed as well and I use GRUB for dual booting.

A. Ubuntu 10.04 at present is unstable

For the time being I would suggest staying with Ubuntu 9.04 or perhaps an upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 both of which are fine releases

How do I use my WI-FI card with my Ubuntu Linux laptop computer?
Q. I am using Ubuntu Linux version 6.06 Dapper Drake and I have a Linksys type WIFI card. I have drivers for Redhat linux and Windows but I still cannot get it to work with Ubuntu. I have spent enough hours on this and I finally decided to ask here. Ideas?

A. I use Linksys WMP54GS cards on my Ubuntu boxes - and have to use ndiswrapper and the Windows driver. I never found a native driver for the card that worked in Ubuntu.

Q. I have been trying to figure out how to send a message to another linux computer at school for a while now by using the linux version of command prompt. I have tried using the write command but it says I have write abilities disabled. I have also tried using smbclient -M accountnamehere and it always says failiure to connect to whatever account I tried to connect to. Any help would be awesome.

A. Maybe you as a normal user just don't have the rights to do so. It's probably so for security reasons.

What is the best linux version for a DELL Latitude D600 laptop?

Q. I have a DELL Latitude D600 that was passed down to me by my older sister. The XP on it has some bad malware and is generally corrupted. What would be the best Linux version to either replace it , or do a dual boot?
It is about 5 years old.

A. Almost any distro will install with a dual boot option. Which distro you install depends on how much horsepower you have and what you want to do.

Since there are over 300 distros, and a few CDRWs are pretty cheap, download a few that sound interesting and try them. DSL (Damn Small Linux) or PCLinuxOS minime might be good for a smaller computer, but Ubuntu might run well too.

They're free - take 2. Or 20. Have fun. That's what it's all about. (Until you decide to earn your living doing what you do for fun.)

Does anyone know where I ISO of the newest Linux version that knows how to talk with Netgear USB wifi adapter?

Q. Does anyone know where I can get a complete ISO of the newest Linux version that knows how to talk with a Netgear USB wifi adapter? I sadly can't burn a DVD with my iPhone yet....?

A. To this date there aren't any current drivers for the netgear usb wifi adapters.

How similar to Linux to OSX an which one is the most similar?
Q. I already have Macs but I also have windows computers. Knowing that I cant install OSX on a windows based system I was thinking of moving to linux.

My question is this. How similar to OSX is linux and which version of linux is the most similar to OSX?

Also a further question would be how easy is to obtain and install the linux version that you recommend and where would I get it from.

A. Because the linux variants do vary a LOT, It ALL depends on the Linux you get.

I think you'll find Ubuntu (Kubuntu for KDE4, Ubuntu for Gnome) to be the best option for a new Linux user. You download it, burn it on a disk, put it in your disk drive and go. It's a great OS and it's completely free. I use it for everything except gaming.

I think you'll find Gnome, Ubuntu's primary desktop interface, similar to a flipped version of a windows-osx hybrid (That happens to come pretty much invincible from viruses.)

There is also Fedora, which is good because it has a neat picture.
There is Red Hat, which kind of sucks.
There is Xandros, which has a really cool-sounding name.
There is Gentoo, which will make all nerds love you, but requires previous knowledge of all programming languages and kung fu.
There is Debian, which is like Ubuntu but without the Ubuntu part,
There is Black Hat, who's existence I can neither confirm nor deny.

What version do I have to start learning linux?
Q. Which version do I have to start learning linux? What version is commonly used in the enterprise? Do all Linux versions have the same command? What is the difference between the versions of linux?

A. Any. All.

Redhat, Debian, and Ubuntu are common in enterprises. CentoOS is a free version of Redhat.

distrowatch.org.

A. In most cases there is a Linux version or an open source alternative

YAHOO MESSENGER

Try Pidgin again using the directions on configuration

Pidgin is Ubuntu's default instant messaging (IM) client, at least through 9.04, Jaunty Jackalope. It works for a wide range of protocols, including MSN Messenger, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Jabber, IRC, IRQ and Gadu-Gadu

Does anyone know where I ISO of the newest Linux version that knows how to talk with Netgear USB wifi adapter?

Q. Does anyone know where I can get a complete ISO of the newest Linux version that knows how to talk with a Netgear USB wifi adapter? I sadly can't burn a DVD with my iPhone yet....?

A. To this date there aren't any current drivers for the netgear usb wifi adapters.

How similar to Linux to OSX an which one is the most similar?
Q. I already have Macs but I also have windows computers. Knowing that I cant install OSX on a windows based system I was thinking of moving to linux.

My question is this. How similar to OSX is linux and which version of linux is the most similar to OSX?

Also a further question would be how easy is to obtain and install the linux version that you recommend and where would I get it from.

A. Because the linux variants do vary a LOT, It ALL depends on the Linux you get.

I think you'll find Ubuntu (Kubuntu for KDE4, Ubuntu for Gnome) to be the best option for a new Linux user. You download it, burn it on a disk, put it in your disk drive and go. It's a great OS and it's completely free. I use it for everything except gaming.

I think you'll find Gnome, Ubuntu's primary desktop interface, similar to a flipped version of a windows-osx hybrid (That happens to come pretty much invincible from viruses.)

There is also Fedora, which is good because it has a neat picture.
There is Red Hat, which kind of sucks.
There is Xandros, which has a really cool-sounding name.
There is Gentoo, which will make all nerds love you, but requires previous knowledge of all programming languages and kung fu.
There is Debian, which is like Ubuntu but without the Ubuntu part,
There is Black Hat, who's existence I can neither confirm nor deny.

What version do I have to start learning linux?
Q. Which version do I have to start learning linux? What version is commonly used in the enterprise? Do all Linux versions have the same command? What is the difference between the versions of linux?

A. Any. All.

Redhat, Debian, and Ubuntu are common in enterprises. CentoOS is a free version of Redhat.

distrowatch.org.

What is the best linux version for a DELL Latitude D600 laptop?

Q. I have a DELL Latitude D600 that was passed down to me by my older sister. The XP on it has some bad malware and is generally corrupted. What would be the best Linux version to either replace it , or do a dual boot?
It is about 5 years old.

A. Almost any distro will install with a dual boot option. Which distro you install depends on how much horsepower you have and what you want to do.

Since there are over 300 distros, and a few CDRWs are pretty cheap, download a few that sound interesting and try them. DSL (Damn Small Linux) or PCLinuxOS minime might be good for a smaller computer, but Ubuntu might run well too.

They're free - take 2. Or 20. Have fun. That's what it's all about. (Until you decide to earn your living doing what you do for fun.)

What linux version is compatible with Broadcom wireless 802.11g card?
Q. I'm looking a linux version compatible with my wireless card but I dont seem to find any. I have SUSE 10.1 and it is not compatible, I think Fedora, Debian and others Ive looked are not either.

Help!

A. Wireless on linux?? You are very ambitious.

At school, how can you send a message to another linux computer using the linux version of command prompt?
Q. I have been trying to figure out how to send a message to another linux computer at school for a while now by using the linux version of command prompt. I have tried using the write command but it says I have write abilities disabled. I have also tried using smbclient -M accountnamehere and it always says failiure to connect to whatever account I tried to connect to. Any help would be awesome.

A. Maybe you as a normal user just don't have the rights to do so. It's probably so for security reasons.

It's been a while but either Mepis or PCLinuxOS is good with small dmachines. I forget which. Linux Mint is supposed to be and I've seen some roll-your-own fubuntus which were out on CD. Xubuntu has actually gotten pretty big and feature laden.

How can I install and replace the new Ubuntu Linux?

Q. Hello everyone !
I have Ubuntu Linux version 9.04 installed in one partition of my laptop. There's a newer better version that has just been released (10.04) And I want to install it, but at the same time replace the old one completely with the new installation.
What is the best way to do this ? The way that it's less error-prone, or the easiest way.

Note. I have Windows installed as well and I use GRUB for dual booting.

A. Ubuntu 10.04 at present is unstable

For the time being I would suggest staying with Ubuntu 9.04 or perhaps an upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 both of which are fine releases
